posted multiple times already, and, while some good points are made, there is far more to this story
We have a muslim in the White House, and useful idiots supporting him, thereby enabling our men and women in uniform to be killed.
From 15-g in the letter, “The most frequently ignored fact is that the average farmer in southern Afghanistan will appreciate far more what Mullah Omar is proposing than what we are with COIN...”
What I’ve been saying all along. Starting under the Bush adminstration, the policy there was determined by a bunch of policy wonks with a western worldview and no ability or inclination to understand or take seriously those who don’t share it. It’s only gotten worse under the Obama adminstration, who have added even more political correctness. Unless we completely change our goals, strategey and tactics we will lose, and may as well get out ASAP.
Interesting read for AQ tacticians visiting FR.
We’re behind 3 to 0 and the two minute warning just sounded. This one is going to go into the record books as a loss unless somebody picks up the ball. Two thousand Soldiers have died. Did they die for a loss? Goddamn, this fighting and killing and dieing is a hard thing. It can really affect a career. It ended 2000 Soldier’s lives. The Army and this country are trying to cruise through this war. This is not acceptable. We need people who can build units that will fight, win and survive. If our admirals and generals can’t do that then maybe they should get out and sell life insurance. Somebody has got to get pissed off! Everybody has got to get pissed off! 2000 dead and we’re going to lose? Find a way to win! I don’t care about excuses. Win!
I’m just an old female and not an expert on any of this. An old ex-cop that knows you shoot the damned enemy, trounce them into the grand and get rid of their sorry ass, or haul them off to jail. Frankly I think the fact that there are the many in our current military in high and low positions that suck too many balls...and that went in to get their GI bill and and just have a job.
When your military is being used for political purposes instead of getting a job done...it becomes a perverted mess, just like any other part of the monster that has become our federal government. Send our soldier to do a job, get the job done, and bring them home! And stop pussy footing around with people that aren’t worth trying to save!!! Replacing Islam with Islam does nothing but begat the same damned thing! Barbarianism! Let them kill each other off!!! Get out of their way!
